Any ITK news on our discussions with Grainger-Barass and Ethan Phillips as delisted free agents? The window for DFA signings closes tomorrow I believe.

I gather we're looking at McMahon as a rookie draft selection?

SSP period if at all.

When do the boys officially start coming back for preseason training?

Soccer games are 25% shorter, with about half the high intensity work, 70% of the distance covered, and first choice players make about 30-40 appearances a season.

The workload is about the same, arguably lighter.

When the premier league season is 38 matches, then you add the Champions league season, then you add the FA cup, then you add the Carabao cup, it’s closer to 45 plus than 30

Plus internationals for some

18 players - no bench rotations and one sub for injury.

if coaches want to play a run around like headless chooks and play for jo the goose strategies let them wear their players out ion the first quarter or two and see the other team win by 15 goals.

if list managers want to pick kids who can run all day but cant kick a football or lay a tackle - good luck with that BS too.

let the true stars be stars again - instead of cannon fodder for triple teaming them with plodders

and stop the BS about not enough talent to go around all the Clubs.


ive watched Rugby league destroyed by what HQ has done over the last 15 years turning into a boring battle between two sides full of nucke dragging brickshthouses
Rugby destroyed by technicalities that no one can decipher anymore and the adoption of straight lines

AFL is being strangled into the same black hole of rubbishness at an accelerating rate - by a bunch of accountants.

That’s an interesting take, I don’t think that’s ever Been the standard but I agree with the idea, coaches will need to adapt and play real positional football.

I haven’t heard of the AFL reducing interchanges further but at least they have been going down, keep it coming

I’d really just like to see 4 on the bench and a sub in case of an injury and a reduction to 10 interchanges per quarter.

No pissing and moaning if you choose to use the sub and then get an injury.

Once teams realise they can park a player or two in the 50 for the whole match and they won’t need to come off, the running players would have a good amount of rest breaks

Too many rotations IMO.
We got to the stupid stage when goal scorers are racing off..
Bench should mean you’ve been dragged, or need a blast from coach on the phone. Should also bring back the dressing gown when stationed on there.

What about just having 10 rotations max per quarter including injuries? 5 on the bench X 2 full rotations per quarter.

Pretty simple change but gives so much more flexibility to coaches compared to almost any other pro sport in the world.

I like how it would simplify the game for everyone - especially fans - but setting such a low limit the AFL can tweak the limits over time to really understand the impact on injuries (if any).
